Overview
On the brink of earning his doctorate in chemistry, the unnamed narrator decides to chuck it all away in favor of real life. So begins an odd pilgrimage through the American South. In Tennessee, our hero is bewitched by an older, gin-swilling, pool-playing sometimes-actress who claims to have recently starred in a theatrical production about a āwoman named Drown.ā He moves in with her and just as quickly begins encountering her strange compatriots. Before he knows it, theyāre heading farther south togetherāto Floridaāwhere the data that the dropout scientist is collecting from lifeās laboratory is about to get quite contradictory.
